Headquarters Stow Post, No. 274, G.
A. r., General Order No. 2:
Memorial Day will soon be here.
As in the past let US prepare to attend
to the duties of the day, that posterity
may remember at what cost American
liberty was preserved. Memorial Day
must become less day for sorrowing
than de for sacred ana profound
rejoicing At Liberty is priceless
possession, and that in every time of
need those who enjoy it will sacrifice
all suffer all and dare all to maintain
and preserve it. Let US therefore on
the coming 30th day of May observe
it as a day of joyous festival of pat
.riotism. Let US sirew with flowers the
graves Of our dead comrades, in
thanksgiving to God for the example
of their heroic lives, and as inspira.
tion to coming generations to emulate
their sublime devotion to their coun.
try's cause, to the flag, and to the in.
terests of humanity.
| trust that the department of Com.
rades on this occasion will prove that
we have not forgotten the cost nor the
example left us by those who suffered
that the Union should be preserved.
1t is expected and earnestly hoped
that all soldiers, whether they are
members of the Post or not, will be
present and encourage and assist in the
exercises of the day. All Sabbath
Schools with their Superintendents are
invited to be present at the cemeteries
and assist in the decoration Of the
graves Of those whose memories we
delight to honor. 1t is recommended
that all business be suspended and
that all turn out to do honor to their
departed ones, by strewing flowers over
their graves. A Memorial Sermon
will he preached in the Presbyterian
church May %, at II a. m, and all
soldiers are earnestly solicited to be
present.
